This is a good action shot. Looks like you were pretty close to the action. Was this guy able to c get any "air" (take-off, in layman's terms) That board looks like one of the newer wide-profile boards. When I sailed, the boards were a lot more like standard surf-boards.

Mealers - I am using a Fujifilm S5000, with a 1.5x Telephoto and a Solarising Filter

Tom - no he didn't get any air at all, he was just slashing around in the shallows!

But heres an air shot - yes I know its badly stiched together but i'm still playing with layers and cutting out and putting it into a single image. I'm finding it hard to do at the moment and get a good result! Some advice might be appreciated!
